I occasionally get:


Summary:

SELinux prevented kde4-config from writing ./.kde.

Detailed Description:

SELinux prevented kde4-config from writing ./.kde. If ./.kde is a core file, you
may want to allow this. If ./.kde is not a core file, this could signal a
intrusion attempt.

Allowing Access:

Changing the "allow_daemons_dump_core" boolean to true will allow this access:
"setsebool -P allow_daemons_dump_core=1."

Fix Command:

setsebool -P allow_daemons_dump_core=1

selinux is preventing kde4 from writing to my .kde directory in my home directory. The suggestion to allow core dumps is obviously incorrect in this situation.

I can build a local policy to correct this but would think it effects far more user than I and may indicate a need for a policy fix.

John
